The Many Faces of Doris Fish

[misterkrusty]

I was lucky enough to see Doris many times including her shows with Miss X and Tippi as "Sluts-a-Go-Go" in the 1980's. Her presence was really over whelming because she was such a star. You always knew when she was in the room. I loved the fundraisers for the struggling Vegas In Space project and Doris always stole the show. The highlight was when she appeared at a kissing booth at the Folsom Street fair and I was able to grab a kiss for $5. It was such a bargain! Saint Doris watch over us.

I was part of "Sylvia and the Synthetics" in Sydney in the VERY early '70's. This very ordinary-looking, very quiet, casually-dressed guy arrived, wanting to be a part of our "events". We were too out-of-control to say "no" to anyone but wondered what the hell he could do. Not too long later this vision in drag arrived and we wondered, "who the hell is THIS, but glad she's here!!!". It was the birth of Doris Fish. Thanks for entertaining us all, Doris.

I remember I got to carry a giant Vacuum-formed gemstone on a stick as part of one of Doris' Mardi Gras appearances - she was high on stilts under a giant crinoline skirt, and she had to clamber up to a ledge on the side of the NSW Art Gallery to strap herself into the stilts. I'm proud to have been a part of that. So good to hear her voice again. Thanks so much for posting this.

Thanks so much for posting this. She's been an inspiration to me since I saw her first in the late 80's. She was bigger than life. Genius.

I was lucky enough to have seen Doris in San Fran. Not on stage but in front of a bar on Market. She was all done up looking awesome. If i had only had the guts to go up and tell her how fabulous I thought she was!! I was too much in awe at the time...RIP Doris you are so missed by so many xox

Doris had so much beauty, wit, wisdom, and talent it's rather amazing she was just one person.

I moved to San Francisco too late to see Doris Fish in action, but I have seen Vegas in Space. Thanks for posting this!
